Deep question about Obstacles!

[Zoros]

Alright, so most of you have found your times when your obstacles grow (an obstacles grows every 8h),
where you were on doing a raid, you village was clean of obstacles,
next time you log in (approx 20min) you have an obstacle appear, record the time, and write something down like:
1:00-1:20pm, 9:00-9:20pm, and 5:00-5:20am. (Now these are the times that you don't want to be online)

So far this is the background information..

The real question is what if you were to play during the time the obstacle is supposed to grow (of course it won't grow)....
What would be the penalty time to basically reset the cycle all over again?
(This assort of the thing where are you online for 6h, and you get kicked for 5min), because I tried not playing for 5min, obstacle didn't appear, then trying for 10min nothing... so what is the penalty?

Edit: (this forum relates to how if an obstacle is supposed to grow, and it is to grow in the red area, then it won't grow, I am interesting if this theory is correct)

Thank you.

Obstacle spawns every 8h on average.
Game won't roll dice for a spawn when you are in your base, when you go to a war/quit/get kicked, the game will do a roll, if lucky, you get the obstacle or wait for next roll.

That's how I think it is

isn't it when there suposed to grow a obstacle and u in ur base it waits till u go to a other screen like go for an attack or check some1's village.

When u return there is the obstacle, correct me if I'm wrong on this.

When you are inactive obstacles grow the way they are supposed to grow, but when you are active and playing a lot, they all grow much more fewer (depends on who active you are). So I am trying to find out the cool down time.

What an amazing post

Yes. I have a mini account that I do not play (just ug using collectors) that has a Nice & Tidy # higher than my main account even though it is younger by several months. I also suspect the more area your base covers, the less chance an obstacle will appear (so spread bases will have fewer obstacles).

So the more time i spend on, the fewer obstacles i have? Darn... Dont wanna get off but i want the gems.

You can be on as long as you want, as long as you're not on when the obstacle is supposed to grow... I also disbelieve the theory that obstacles can grow anywhere, and if it decides to be in the place that your village is in, it won't grow. This is completely wrong, I found my times when obstacles grow, and it grew every time, until i was accidentally on during the time it was supposed to grow and screwed up my system. So its for sure that an obstacle will always grow, and they are only allowed to grow in the non-village areas.
